Another School Year Gone

It's been a long day without you, my friend
And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
We've come a long way from where we began
Oh, I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
When I see you again

...

As another school year finishes, there is still just one little boy missing from the class and I can feel my heart hurt for Jack that little bit more. The hype of what class the kids are in next year, who their teacher is, sports day, extra golden time, dvds and games in class; all make me sad for what Jack is missing. As the kids get excited for the start of the holidays, I can still hear jack saying “how many days left of school mummy”, “how many more sleeps mummy".

As the schools finish for the summer, take a minute as a parent to appreciate that you have your child to spend the holidays with. Use the summer holidays to make special memories with your child as none of us can predict the future. When you go to complain, just think of the thousands of other parents out there that would give their life to have just one more day with their child.

Take a minute tonight to remember all those children who aren't stopping nursery or school for the summer.
